ATRC CAPACITY BUILDING
In order to empower citizen and civil society participation in decision-making, our Capacity Building program provides tools and supports them to assess and address needs in their communities. This program aims to improve the internal governance of organizations through technical assistance that is tailor-made to the needs of the organization or non-formal group. We also provide small grants to local civil society organizations (CSOs) within the different Advocacy and Resilient & Inclusive Communities projects. This financial support gives small CSOs a boost to become more active on a topic they find relevant to their communities.
ATRC provides both technical support services and small grants:
